Meet The Lil' Artists Holding It Down on Spotify

31/05/2018

Don't let the name fool you - the Lil's have a big presence on Spotify.

Spotify now features over 8,000 artists with Lil' or Lil at the beginning of their name - from the well-known Lil Wayne, to the munchy-inspiring Lil Cheeze-It. And so far in 2018, 33 of the one thousand most streamed tracks on the platform feature those lil artists.

In the past year, they've made a big impact: being the names behind 33 of the top thousand songs puts the Lil's at a 106% increase over the same timespan in 2017, and a whopping 725% increase from 2016.

While some of this growth can be attributed to breakout artists such as Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Xan and Lil Yachty, legends including Lil' Kim, Lil' Troy and Lil Wayne have long represented the Lil prefix. With the word lil becoming increasingly used in everyday vernacular, it seems fitting that artist names should follow suit.

In light of this growing cultural phenomenon, we present Spotify's 200 most streamed Lil artists of all time:
